The annual prize continues to this day, and is awarded at the Australasian College of Dr John Fewings Dermatologists’ Annual Scientific Meeting for the best paper in contact dermatitis.

John Landy was famous for his sporting achievements. He was the second man to run the mile in under 4 minutes, recording a world-record time of 3:57:9 in June 1954. He became internationally famous for his part in the 1954 Vancouver Commonwealth Games mile race. Again he achieved a time of less than 4 minutes, but was pipped at the end by Roger Bannister. That race is still referred to as “The Miracle Mile”. In Australia he will always be remembered for his part in the 1500 meters final of the 1956 Australian National Championships, in the lead up to the Melbourne Olympics. Landy stopped and helped fellow athlete Ron Clarke who had fallen after tripping with another runner. After being helped up, Clark rejoined the race. Landy quickly followed and, incredibly, lapped the field to win. Landy’s gesture, and subsequent win, is now considered one of the greatest moments in Australian sporting history. As Patron, Governor John Landy was an inspiration to the members and staff of the Foundation 8 25th Anniversary - Skin & Cancer Foundation Inc - Annual Report 2012 - 2013 The clinic is a specialist Skin Cancer Clinic.
